Coupled with its exceptional edge quality, these result in components that are superior to those produced by alternate methods. Generally, you will be able to assemble laser cut components immediately - you will not have to undertake edge preparation or mark and punch holes and slots. PROCESS ALMOST ANYTHING Most metal can be cut by laser with little distortion and with little interference to their chemical composition regardless of their hardness. Complex shapes are easily cut repeatedly with a kerf width of less than 0.2mm, hence minimizing material wastage. Small batches or large quantities are simply programmed directly from component drawings, thus eliminating delays and high costs associated with tooling. SPEED: Without the need to tool up, short lead time, as well as, short production runs become viable. Even oneoff jobs are economical. COMPLEX SHAPES: Lasers can cut materials into intricate shapes normally found impossible using conventional manufacturing techniques. NO DISTORTION: Laser is a form of light, therefore the non-contact nature of laser processing will not leave any mechanical distortion on the workpiece. In addition, the heat generated is so well controlled that there is minimal distortion after processing the materials.

4 THE POWER OF WATER In today s competitive world, many decisions are made mainly based on three factors: Cost, Quality and Speed (Time). Waterjet provides rapid programming, set-up, processing and clean up while providing high quality and high tolerance cutting. As a result, abrasive waterjet cutting is the only process offering all three factors, low cost, high quality and rapid turnaround time. A BREAKTHROUGH IN WATERJET CUTTING PROCESS CONVENTIONAL WATERJET CUTTINGS ACTIVE TOLERANCE CONTROL Richinn Technology utilises a dynamic waterjet system with Active Tolerance Control that produces more accurate parts at a significantly higher cutting speed than parts cut with a conventional waterjet. This system allows the cutting head to tilt in any direction, compensating for the stream lag and taper experienced with conventional waterjet cutting machines. Stream lag and taper are typical, yet undesirable results from conventional beam-type cuttings, such as waterjet. The faster parts are cut, the greater the stream lag. Stream lag causes part geometry errors. In addition, as the cutting speed is increased, the waterjet beam produces an ever-increasing taper. Conventional waterjet cutting must slow down in order to reduce or eliminate finish-part tolerance errors caused by stream lag and taper. With our Active Tolerance Control, these limitations are resolved.

5 WATERJET CUTTING ENABLES: WIDE RANGE OF MATERIALS Able to cut a wide range of materials, from hardened steel, inconel, hastalloy, ceramics, glass, stone and marble, to soft materials such as rubber, foam, composites, laminates and plastics. RAPID PROGRAMMING Easy to draw parts or import standard DXF files from CAD. By inputting the material and thickness, a computer program determines the abrasive jet speed for accurate high tolerance cuts. Rapid programming is ideal for short prototype runs. FAST SET-UP Requires only one tool, the waterjet, compared to milling that may require setting-up several tools. Waterjet only applies a downward force and does not require extensive fixturing for side loads. QUALITY FINISH WITH MINIMAL DEBURRING The edge finishing of abrasive waterjet parts is a smooth sandblasted finish with no rough edges, slag, burns or jagged edges. The as-cut edge finish of abrasive waterjet is ideal for metals that require secondary welding operations. COARSE CUT COARSE-MEDIUM CUT MEDIUM CUT MEDIUM-FINE CUT FINE CUT NO THERMAL DISTORTION Unlike other cutting techniques, heat is not generated during waterjet process. As a result, abrasive waterjet is ideal for metals that may be deformed by heat, such as titanium or low melting point materials such as plastics and rubber. RAPID PROCESSING SPEEDS Abrasive waterjet does not require tooling changes and part repositioning thereby saving time and money. In addition, no cutting oil is required, thus eliminating clean up time. COMPLEX SHAPES Ideal to cut complex two-dimensional shapes with the ability to have small kerf radii. Thin materials can be stacked together and cut simultaneously with waterjet.

BENDING INTO FORMS Bending is a procedure for forming flat, sheet metal workpieces.

The workpiece lies on a bottom tool (die) with a v-shaped opening.

Precision is the most important yardstick for press brakes.

The bending angle can either be inexact or can vary across the entire bending length.

Both procedures require compensation systems that will adjust for these errors.

6 BENDING INTO FORMS Bending is a procedure for forming flat, sheet metal workpieces. It immediately follows in the cutting processing chain. The workpiece lies on a bottom tool (die) with a v-shaped opening. A wedge-shaped tool (punch) presses the work piece into the v-opening and thus bends it to the desired angle. Precision is the most important yardstick for press brakes. However, slight deviations from the desired bending angle are physically unavoidable. The bending angle can either be inexact or can vary across the entire bending length. There are two commonly used bending procedures, 3-point and air bending. Both procedures require compensation systems that will adjust for these errors. In 3-point bending, a hydraulic cushion, which is integrated in the upper tool holder, ensures that the pressing force is distributed evenly across the entire bending length. In air bending, the press brake system, with the incorporation of a crowning system, will specifically curve to correct for any deformation occurring during the bending process on the upper and bottom tools. Currently, Richinn Technology has the capability of processing sheet metal bending up to 8 metres in length.

7 AUTOMATED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE Richinn Technology utilises the Automated Vision Measuring System, which is a high precision measuring solution for flat parts. Complete with its Metrology Software, programmable zoom lens, and servo motion control, the Automated Vision Measuring System can measure parts up to 1000mm X 1000mm using its profile-projection function/image-vision function or its touch probes. The Automated Vision Measuring System is also used with multiples of smaller parts nested in a fixture. Operators load parts and start a measuring program. The machines can run for hours while operators work on other inspection and quality control tasks.
